Things to do in South Kensington > Experience > Live Music and Performance > Evans & Peel Detective Agency
Tucked behind an unmarked door in Earls Court, Evans & Peel presents itself not as a bar but as a detective agency. You “book a case” to enter, then step through into a dimly lit speakeasy where the conceit is carried through in every detail — from the décor to the staff in character. Live music and cabaret-style acts unfold on small stages, creating the feel of a 1920s private club hidden in plain sight.
It’s immersive rather than grand, a place where the performance is as much about atmosphere as it is about music. Cocktails are inventive, food is designed for sharing, and the whole experience blurs theatre with nightlife. For those who enjoy a touch of mystery, it’s one of West London’s more playful secrets.
